Family Guy Will Feature Donald Trump, Spoof Stranger Things and Pay Tribute to Adam West in Season 17

Family Guy will debut a two-part episode featuring Donald Trump in its upcoming Season 17.

According to the executive producers, the new season will see Peter going to work for Donald Trump in Washington "just to make things up on the local news."` But when there's an encounter with Meg (uh oh), "Peter and Trump have it out," according to producer Rich Appel. "I won’t say who wins, you’ll have to tune in. It’s a giant chicken fight between the president and Peter all through Washington."

That won't be the only two-part episode in Season 17: The season premiere "involves Brian getting married," according to producer Steve Callaghan. "It’s such a fun story with so many twists and turns that it ended up not being able to be told in one episode."

Peter also has new bosses at the brewery in the form of a husband and wife team played by Bryan Cranston and Niecy Nash, and they're not the only celebrities lending their voices next season - other guest stars include Patrick Stewart, Kyrie Irving, Johnny Weir, Tara Lipinski, Sam Elliot, Mandy Moore and Sarah Paulson.

Paulson will appear in a meta-tinged episode that features the Griffin family recording a director's commentary for an episode of Family Guy, when Lois learns that Peter is being paid more than she is, and FOX reveals Peter was still paying alimony to his first wife, Sarah Paulson, who shows up to the recording booth.

This Is Us star Mandy Moore will also cameo in an episode where Quagmire hits on a young woman but makes a shocking discovery. "He brings her home, he uses his emergency DNA test and [discovers] it’s his biological daughter he didn’t know he had," according to executive producer Alec Sulkin. "And relax, it’s after they have sex," he quipped.

But perhaps the most important episode of the new season will be a tribute to the late Adam West, who provided the voice of Mayor West throughout the show.

"We thought it was fitting to pay tribute to him, not only as a character but a person in our lives,” Callaghan said. “We decided to rename the high school on the show after Adam West, so from this point forward it will be Adam West High.”

A fan also asked if there were any plans for the show to do a spoof of the Marvel Cinematic Universe the way Family Guy has spoofed the Star Wars franchise with "Blue Harvest" in the past.
